You may have seen Poynter editor Julie Moos’s quick and thoughtful response to questions posed by CJR assistant editor Erika Fry on her site’s attribution and aggregation practices.
Jim Romenesko, the site’s must read (and transitioning) media-news blogger, will now be subject to a new level of editing after Moos concluded that “too many” of his posts “exhibit a pattern of incomplete attribution.”
“Jim has offered to resign and I refused to accept his resignation,” Moos wrote.
Moos’s post came before a scheduled interview with Erika, who plans to write more on this in the very near future.
Check your spelling on Jim Romenesko.

As Rick Perry might say, Oops. Thanks, should be fixed.

So, let me get this straight. You felt free to destroy his reputation, but you didn't know how to spell his name? Right.

Whoa, he's done.

"His decision comes after Poynter.org published a story about questionable attribution in Jim’s posts. I’ve closely followed the reaction to this on Twitter, Facebook and the comments on our site and others. I’m relieved that many readers and sources understood Jim’s intent to credit properly and felt fairly treated by him."

Your attempt to ruin him has backfired on you!
